Who and Where? Players and Locations in China

Foreign entrants are often puzzled by varying types and unique features of players they encounter in China, and often make mistakes by treating the locations in China as homogeneous. This Section helps in developing a better understanding of China's context in terms of its players and locations, and a number of strategies to deal with them in China. Who are the players in China? How do foreign firms identify and differentiate different types of Chinese players? What does subnational location mean in China? How do foreign firms respond to the idiosyncratic natures of different Chinese locations?

Transcription

Er, their fundamental difference we have observed is transparency of corporate operation information. Because as the listed company, they are regulated by higher level supervision from government and from the public's monitor or surveillance. So, their financial information, their corporate governance were subject to strict review. And because they are listed company, from the public source, a lot of critical information of their corporate operation could be traced by the public via public sources. And, however, for the non-listed company, you could find very limited information about a company especially when China's corporate governmental agency, they have stringent rule on to which degree they could disclose corporate information to non-listed company. So I think the data transparency were availability of the corporate operation is a very fundamental difference between the listed and the non-listed company.
